Re-read April 2024: The first half was a 3-star book, then things started to all come together and I can see the breadcrumbs King had laid. I highly recommend the audiobook narrated by Lorna Raver. What an actress. This book made me angry, tense, and sad. I want to be Donna when I grow up. What a resilient, determined, fearless woman. I'll share a longer review soon.
